Puccini’s exhilarating drama of the Wild West
returns in a new staging by Richard Jones, marking the company’s first new
production of La Fanciulla del West in more than 30 years.
Soprano Sondra Radvanovsky makes her role debut as Minnie, the tough tavern
owner with a heart of gold who finds love when she least expects it. Tenor
SeokJong Baek is the dashing bandit who rambles into the remote California
mining town to steal her heart, opposite baritone Christopher Maltman as the
lawman determined to deliver justice—and win Minnie for himself.
Maestro
Keri-Lynn Wilson takes the podium to conduct one of opera’s most action-packed
adventures, live from the Met stage to cinemas worldwide.
